As the new academic year begins, teams from the Masam Landmine Clearance Project \u2013 Yemen have intensified their explosive ordnance risk education<\/a> (EORE) campaigns in schools across Yemen\u2019s west coast. The initiative aims to protect students from the dangers of explosive remnants of war scattered throughout their communities.<\/p>\n

The west coast<\/a> remains one of Yemen\u2019s most mine-affected regions, where years of front-line fighting have left widespread contamination in farmland, villages, and routes used daily by civilians.<\/p>\n

According to Ali Al-Rimi, Leader of Project Masam\u2019s demining Team 9, the campaign, which was conducted at Al-Shazly School in the Al-Mokha district, west of Taiz Governorate, reached more than 230 students. The sessions introduced students to the different types of Houthi mines<\/a> and explosive devices, and explained the correct procedures for reporting them.<\/p>\n

Al-Rimi emphasised that awareness is \u201can essential and complementary part of field clearance operations,\u201d noting that Project Masam teams regularly organise sessions in schools, markets, and residential areas.<\/p>\n

School Principal Saad Al-Shazly underscored the importance of continuing such campaigns to protect students from handling suspicious objects in contaminated areas, stressing that awareness efforts \u201chelp save lives”.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
